Yeah, yeah, yeah…..we know how unpopular it is to talk against the lefty administration, but listen up. Rush Limbaugh was right today. He was powerful and candid and he IS the leader the GOP needs. 

Not a coward or a weasel. He needs to run for senator from Florida and then consider something more. Seriously. Re-read what Rush said. Cause someone needed to say it and folks need to listen.

We love exclamation points. We won’t be stopping our use of them anytime soon so get used to it bitches. 

That said, a new Celebrity Apprentice looms and we could not be more excited. Joan Rivers. A force to be reckoned with. Need we say more. The only disappointment is that Omarosa is not on this one and we think she adds a certain evil dynamic that makes this show rock.

Those two are apparently back together, doing the make-up at Diddy’s house in SOBE. We have been there and it is a nice place, but back to the point. Knowing what we know about domestic violence, she stands in line to get hit again if they don’t get some help. 

Men who batter — let’s just say this isn’t a one-time occurrence. And so we hope Chris Brown recognizes he has power and control issues and we hope she understands that violence isn’t dismissible. It’s an enormous problem. We know they are young, but we worry.

We hope those around them guide them to more understanding if they continue on as a couple.

We think it was the PEOPLE cover this time that kicked us over the top. Sure, she belonged on Vogue because of her influence on fashion during the election cycle — and because it was politically correct and business-savvy to do it. But now we’ve hit the wall. 

Boring, her family routines, the new dog. These are the details that keep suburbanite moms happy but probably not the diva. We need more meat with our sausage or some such.

In other news….

Britney is almost ready to go back on tour and we can’t help but cheer her on, even if we suspect that she will look, act and sound the same as she has over the past several years. This will be big bump and grind, her half naked, lip-syncing, etc… Sigh. What else can she do?

Lindsay Lohan seems to truly be in trouble again. If she has a career left, we are Nixon.

We’d like a Giselle and Tom wedding photo please. Throw us a bone. We just wanna see the dress. Private….like whatever. Snooze.

All in all, the hottest TV journos are on Fox News. We think that Megyn Kelly chick has serious stones. Big balls for a Barbie girl. We kinda dig how she goes all a.m. pitbull on folks. She rarely lets people slide with some dopey answer.

It’s almost March. That could mean spring. And not a moment too soon!

Any paper that gets rid of Liz Smith blows the big one. And we don’t be reading it any more.

You people and your shady disloyalty SUCK.

The diva is PISSED.

So, whaddya think of the Academy Awards and fashion. We were let down in a huge way. Not so much that there were tons of foibles, because few made big mistakes. But no one totally knocked our socks off. Perhaps this is reflective of the dicey economy or something….

One person who is getting little acclaim is Alicia Keys. Didn’t that pink dress look nice with her very glam hair and makeup? We thought so. She looked very old Hollywood but in an understated way, which seems in stark contrast to her performance attire.

We also loved the dress on Anne Hathaway. Perhaps the color was a little too white against her fair skin, but all in all, it really photographed and looked Oscar-worthy.

Marissa Tomei also looked great in that confection of a dress, but we felt her hair was a bit of a distraction. We did like Kate Winslett’s unexpected black and gray dress but not her Grace Kelly hair, which aged her. Penelope Cruz also had a wonderful ballgown, but we aren’t jazzed by her too-short bangs.

Jessica Biel — an unfortunate hair, big dress combo. Amy Adams, same deal. She looked too old when she usually looks fresh.

At least Robert Downey Jr.’s facial fillers and Botox seemed to be working effortlessly. He looked totally refreshed.

Oh, and Angelina in black with those emerald earrings was divine. Jen Aniston, not so memorable. We could have done without the girly braid in her hair although she did seem happy.

Happy is good.

More later…

Hello, funseekers. The Diva has been away, traveling to Fashion Week before heading off to Los Angeles where we are personally counseling Chris Brown, who says he’s a lover not a fighter.

  He’s only 19 remember, but hitting women is a bad way to roll. We have him in our own special therapy, tho. It involves pliers and certain body parts. We can be bad when the lesson is important. To wit: Don’t mess with a sistah.

That said, we are back to offer our Oscar picks. We will be hosting our very own exclusive party at an ultrasecret location. The princessposse has been alerted. Don’t crash. We have bodyguards and they enjoy steroids and the er, personality traits that come with the human pitbull lifestyle. Seriously….. it’s a hot ticket. (Keep reading here for all the deets…)

  That said, here goes on our predictions, with who will win and who we want to win.

 

Best supporting actor

Will win: Heath Ledger

We wish would win: Heath Ledger

 

Best supporting actress

Will win: Penelope Cruz

We wish would win: Marisa Tomei (you do a credible stripper at her age and get back to us. Wowza)

 

 

Best actor

Will win: (that horrible) Sean Penn

We wish would win: Our delicious Mickey Rourke (so sorry about the pooch, dude.)

 

Best actress

Will win: Kate Winslett

We wish would win: Anne Hathaway

 

Best director

Will win: Danny Boyle, Slumdog Millionaire

We wish would win: Darren Aronofsky (such a risktaker!!!)

 

Best picture

Will win: Slumdog Millionaire

We wish would win: The Curious Case of Benjamin Button

 

Song: We are pissed that Bruce Springsteen wasn’t nominated but a bunch of other dumb songs were so we aren’t voting.

 

More fashion commentary to follow. We can hardly wait for the glare and glam.

Wow, the fairly dismal Grammy show was upstaged by news of the Rihanna-Chris Brown fight, which now seems totally smackdown.

We give the Grammy’s a Grade C-minus and allow that perhaps the classiest and most inspired performance came from country star Kenny Chesney. Funny how pretty and lovely he can be when doing something simple — singing a well-written and adult song. No tiki huts and sandals, just beautiful music sung with dignity and poise. The night’s gentleman, hands down.

That said: we don’t hit women. There isn’t an excuse in the world that makes up for that. Yell, scream, punch the wall, but better, walk away. Chris Brown, if indeed he is guilty, has severely damaged a fire-hot musical career. If ever a kid, and he’s only 19 people, needs a public relations guru and a big-ass lawyer, it’s him.

Rihanna either steps up and speaks out or she stays quiet and forces him to deal with this behavior like a man. 

Let this be a warning to us all: domestic violence happens to good people, not just skanks and white trash, as the movies and TV might make us think. It happens in rich homes and apparently, among the famous. If you see it happening or know it’s going on, get involved. Help that person get help.

Chris Brown needs to publicly acknowledge his conduct and apologize. NOW. Before fickle Hollywood kicks him to the curb.

We don’t hit women. No even thug rappers get a pass on this. Word.

This fun, fun, fun movie opens Feb. 13 and we will be front and center for all of the big buying fun. We adore Isla Fisher. Remember her in “Wedding Crashers?” She was mad crazy but SO watchable.

Plus, she’s hooked up with Borat, so there ya go. It’s going to be the funnest film opening since “The Devil Wore Prada.”

BE THERE!!!! You must!!!!!!

Nice anthem, no? A tough plunge back into the spotlight, too. And yet she bucked up and performed her heart out. And what a nice and personalized rendition.

Girl can BLOW!!!! And we wish her healing and light and love.

Ok, funseekers. All of y’all who haven’t wrapped your 23-year-old lips around a big-ass bong and sucked, raise your hands.

What, no takers? Thought so.

Give the kid a break. He’s young, a probably naive and blowing off steam as a newly minted celebrity after a long childhood and adolescence spent working his butt off in a pool, with very little time to enjoy his own life.

A lot of folk enjoy weed from time to time. It doesn’t make him any less All-American. It probably makes him moreso, at least for his generation.

One thing about Lindsay….

She may be starving away to nothing… but she has really gorgeous long hair.

Truly, it’s amazing, particularly if it’s all real. Perhaps extensions, but we think maybe not.

Eat something, little sister. We think ya oughta.

Our future husband Mickey Rourke was nominated for an Oscar this morning. Have ya heard?

His performance in “The Wrestler” is genius — heartbreaking and tough.

It’s a tough category, lead actor, but we hope Hollywood will acknowledge his rebirth and put him over the top. We love his big weirdness, even with the challenged coif he is sporting of late. We also love his little puppies.

Delightful, setting the tone for the entire day!

See, it WAS the bad hair part that scotched her deal here.

If you wanna represent a state like New York, you gotta have better hair.

The election night dress ruined with cardigan, the over-blinged inauguration ceremony suit in the color of bile, and the wedding/prom fluff that she wore to the balls.

It’s a trifecta of misjudgment from a First Lady who otherwise has gotten it fairly right for a long time.

For sure, we know she’s taking her own fashion counsel. 

What to say, what to say…..it will come to us.

Sigh, it wasn’t exactly the fashion forward ensemble we had hoped. It looked heavy and made her look heavy and altho it was cold, it still looked too spangly-clunky to make it happen for us.

The color was tough. Perhaps better on her and in person.

But we hoped for something a little less traditional or something. We look forward to seeing tonight’s gown.

Not overwhelmed yet by any of the Michelle Obama inaugural togs. Didya see the Beyonce coat onstage at the Mall concert? Michelle needs one of those, not that dowager camel coat she had on. HELLO. Classic and proper, but not terribly chic.

We are crossing our fingers for Tuesday, which is like her Super Bowl. Godspeed and may the force of Coco be with you.

We are a deep fan of Bigfoot. Call him Yeti, Sasquatch, etc. We love him/it in all incarnations.

Imagine our great surprise when we discovered, for sale, a Bigfoot Garden Yeti sculpture, available from that Useless Expensive Crap People Don’t Need Catalogue that they stick in the seatbacks on planes.

Seriously, this is really good. And ya know, we probably DO need this. It’s such a good likeness, too.

Whilst frozen and snow-covered, our thoughts turned (rightly) to spring fashion. We are in love, love, love with the Nanette Lepore for spring. Kinda girly, kinda gypsy, sweet and fresh.

We cannot wait to be warm and pretty. Let the pre-ordering begin!!!!!!
